I too would like to see an AEV JK like bumper for the TJ. Also a rear tire carrier bumper from AEV would be great.

The mopar rock crawler bumper was originally designed by AEV. They just sold the design to Chrysler. Just like they did with the Rock rails which ARB now makes.

My guess is that you will not see AEV making a stamped bumper for the TJ because of the expense in creating the mold used for stamping. Also with the JK out now, this is where more of the focus of the aftermarket is at the moment, so even if they do decide to go back to the TJ, it will probably be many years down the road.

yeah the closest you'll find is the Mopar Rock bumper we designed years ago. JeepinJon is correct that we couldn't justify the tooling cost for a stamped TJ bar. I looked at modifying the JK bar to fit a TJ with our Highline kit but the JK is still two inches wider.

Now a Brute kit for the M38....How about I just sell you my M37 cheap?

Honestly - the ARB bumper is close enough - and AEV's been using that for years.
